Thanks for checking out my website, which I’m still figuring out as I go.
Here’s what’s new and exciting (updated 10/14/2014):

New zine: COVERS
My newest zine is a “covers album,” where I took some of my favorite stories about musicians (written by other people) and adapted them into comics. Featuring stories about Bob Dylan, Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, John Lennon, John Coltrane, Mike Watt, Dinosaur Jr, Kristin Hersh, and cartoonist Jason Young. Hopefully this won’t have the same effect on my career that “The Spaghetti Incident?” had on Guns ‘n Roses’. Check it out now in the store.

Driftwood City… the book
My book-length collection of comics is finally printed, and for sale in the store. Even if you’re up to date on Laterborn, there’s 5 new stories here and some older stuff that few people have seen before, and I put a lot of thought into the sequencing and things like that. Please check it out if you haven’t yet! Thanks.

Papercutter 17
The latest final issue of Tugboat Press’ Papercutter has 32 pages of comics written by me and drawn by seven of my favorite cartoonists. In order of appearance: Jesse Reklaw, Corinne Mucha, Francois Vigneault, Calvin Wong, Sarah Oleksyk, Hellen Jo, and Vanessa Davis (with end pages by Nate Beaty). This was a thrill to get to work on, and I’m really happy with how the stories came out. Full details (including ordering info) at the Tugboat site.

Jason’s Zine Club
I started a new feature in the blog section, where I recommend one of my favorite zines every month now and then. Zines and mini-comics are inherently hard to find, so I hope this helps some of my favorite stories get into more people’s hands, and helps you discover new things to read.
